Martellus Bennett Wants To Keep Playing
7 years agoNew England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett has decided that he wants to continue playing despite contemplating retirement in 2017, according to sources. Bennett is due a $2 million roster bonus March 14, so the Patriots must make a decision. He'll carry a modest $6.2 million salary cap hit. After surprising for New England in 2016, Bennett was a flop in Green Bay and back with the Pats last season, catching a combined 30 passes for 286 yards and no touchdowns, but a shoulder injury especially hampered him. He will have very little fantasy value in 2018 unless Rob Gronkowski retires and leaves Bennett as the team's main pass-catching tight end.
